Little Circles
Sideline Series · Move 8 of 16
Why this one
Small circles challenge the hip stabilizers in every direction and smooth out the whole range.
8–10 reps
Breath — Inhale to anchor the center · Exhale to circle the legs
How to do it
Lift the top leg to hip height and draw small, controlled circles — a few one way, then reverse. Keep the leg long and the torso still.
Keep in mind
Small and controlled — stabilize the pelvis, move only the leg.
Every move: lightly lift your pelvic floor — a gentle lift, never a clench — and breathe slow and full (hold the stretches for about 5 easy breaths, at least 30 seconds). New to the lift? →
